I now have to accept the fact there will be several films showing at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival that I simply won’t be able to see. I have gone to Cannes three straight years and this will be my third year in Toronto and of the six festivals I’ve never seen a line-up packed with so many highly anticipated films and today the fest added even more.

Sending out the complete line-up today the fest has added three films to their Galas selection and 18 Special Presentations along with several Contemporary World Cinema selections, the latter of which includes James Ponsoldt’s Smashed which is said to feature a performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead that may be up for Oscar consideration.

The announcement confirmed Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master will be part of the Special Presentations selection as will Brian De Palma’s Passion, a remake of Love Crime starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace, a film I discussed recently right here.

I have added the complete list of Galas and Special Presentations below. I will be putting together a most anticipated list once we get closer to the fest’s September 6 start as I’ll be there through the 14th, but tell me, how many of these would you want to see? I am having a hard time trying to decide.

I have added links to the titles that are currently in the RopeofSilicon database and I am working now on adding images for the latest additions. So if you want more information on any of them just give it a click.

You can also click here if you haven’t yet taken a look at the Midnight Madness selection, which includes even more anticipated titles.
